How W. W. Myers Looks at the
single Tax Proposition
Editor Courier:
I have so far tried to keep out
of the single tax niuddle, as I
consiuer me matter one of the
many attempted- measures to keep
me peopie irom the real issue.
nowever tins matter puts the
" people to thinking, and I have
wailed patiently for some figures
wuii prooi anu i am free to ad
mit that I have seen nothing from
either side of the question as
proot for or against it.
Twenty-five years ago I read
Henry George, formed a good
opinion of his arguments but I
find most of the single taxers
deeming him as authority for
present day single tax. George
was against land monopolies. If
it would destroy land monopoly
and make homes cheaper for poor
people, I am for it; if not, count
me against it.
Now let nie ask some quest
ions: Could we not amend the
present lax law so as to tax
franchises, water powers etc? If
the present law is not adequate
and leaves personal property to
near its snare also, thereby light
ening the , burden on improvements?-
Next I want both sides to this
question to tell mo what kind of
tax law you can make that will
exempt labor from a part or all
the taxes?
Now Mr. Hicinbotham you are
well enough posted, so is Mr
U'Ren, to know that no such law
can be enacted. So all your hash
about reloiving the poor laborer
is all bosh. But say, this quest
ion of tax, where you get a lax
of about five per cent direct, you
are treading on dangerous
ground, but how about an indi
rect tax of 40 to 60 per cent?
You will swallow the dose and
call it prosperity.
Do you know that Mr. Hill says
the average farm is worth $500
per year to the railroads of the
country? That sounds big but
Hill ought to know I am sure I
don't.
I was talking to one of the
best farmers of Eagle Creek also
one of the best citizens, and he
says he kept track of his fares on
the electric road to Portland and
his fares alone were $38 for the
year. He ships about $000 of pro-
TWILIGHT.
It is to be hoped that the voters

Mr. Hill is not very far from the
facts.

There Is No Use in Trying to
Cure Eczema Unless You
Destroy the Germ.
. Eczema, it is now known, is
caused by living germs, Or para
sites. These must be destroyed in
curing the disease. No remedy
for Eczema that is not designed
for this particular purpose will
be effective. It may help to relieve
the itching for a time but will
not cure.
An eczema remedy to be of per
manent value, must remove the
cause. Soothing the inflamed sur
face is not all that is necessary.
Rexall Eczema Ointment is in
